What Next?
Recently noticd was made in these
columns ubat the Pittsburgh Dispatch
had added a fine literary magazine to
its Sunday edition, and that the price
would not be increased but would re
"tnaln at five cents.
Now The Dispatch annou-.es the
publication of Roy Norton's latest
novel, ;'The Nation's Pawn," and that
the first installment will be published
la the literary magazine section May
16. Those who read "The Vanishing
Fleets" by the same author Are sure to
read Mr. Norton's new novel, which is
considered better. The Story is clean,
wholesome and fit for every member of
the family to reau. It is certain to
create a sensation. "
After a the food things the Dis
patch has been adding lately, Is it any
wonder people say, "What Next?"

COLISSIMO
WAS GUILTY
Entered a Plea of Manslaughter and Will
Serve a Long Term of
. Imprisonment,
The latter part of December, 1907,
Gabriella Colloea, or Collsxlmo, a for
mer citizen of ReynoldBvllle, was ar
rested at Fuller, Pa., on charge of
having murdered a man at St. Augus
tine, Florida, in January, 1S92. He was
confined in the county jail at Brook
ville to await for an officer to come
from Florida to take him to that Btate.
After Deputy Sheriff Sabate, of St.
Augustine, arrived in Brookville, a
hearing on the writ of habeas corpuB
was held before Judge John W. Reed
on Monday evening, January 13, 1908,
The acoused man attempted to Bet up
an alibi and called a number of wit
nesses from Reynoldsville in his behalf,
who testified that he resided here at
the time the crime was committed, but
Judge Reed declined to release Colos
slmo. A number of people thought
Colosslmo was Innocent, but having
entered a plea of guilty of man
slaughter removes any doubt about his
Innocence. The St. Augustine Eve
ning Record of April 27, 1909, says:
"Charged with muider in the first
degree Gabriella Colloesa, who Is also
known by the name? or ColllBslmo,
yesterday entered a plea of guilty! to
manslaughter and the court accepted
the plea. This will save the Italian
from the extreme penalty, but will
mean a long term of imprisonment.
Collossa was charged with the murder
of Joseph Lamblas some eighteen
years ago, having shot him and es
caped from the state. The tragedy was
the result of a difference over money
the Italian claimed his employer owed
him. Collossa escaped after the shoot
ing and returned to Italy, After a stay
of some time in Italy he again came
to the United States and located In
Pennsylvania In the mining region.
Having so long evadod the law he be
came boastful, and confided to another
Italian the crime. His confidant noti
fied the authorities who in turn ad
vised the officers here and Deputy
Sheriff Sabate went to Pennsylvania
and identified the Italian among .a
score of others. . After considerable
difficulty Deputy Sabate succeeded in
getting the Italian into custody and
brought him back to the scene of his
crime. Collossa has been in jail since
he was brought back and his trial was
continued from one term of court to

COLE BROTHERS'
SHOWS COMING
Aggregation Bigger and Better than Ever
With Many Thrilling Features.
May 21 and 22.
When the Colo Brothers World
Famed Shows were organized for the
present season, experience and capital
united In perfecting one of the most
superb amusement enterprises ever con
oelved. The season of 11)08 was hardly
concluded before the many agents and
the heads of the various departments
were called Into consultation with the
executive stuff and numerous and
various plans and features discussed,
and many discarded and others ac
cepted. The line of organization to
make the shows the most meritorious
and modern In the world was always
foremost In all discussions, suggestions
and plans, and the determination to
give to the amusement-loving people
of this country something entirely new,
and not a show with which they bad
become entirely too familiar, was
thoroughly oarrled out in the smallest
of detail. The reputation that for over
a quarter of a century these gigantic
shows have always enjoyed, oould not
be improved In the least by the show
Itself, further than to assemble It bo as
to put it In a class far above all others,
and that cau be safely said of It as
it la to-day. The unlimited Improve
ments adopted alone could and haye
added to the show's reputation, which
even up to now had been unequalled.
Foreign artists were secured because
they were entirely bew In thlsoountry,
and American artists were contracted
for only when It was assured that their
acts had never before been seen with
any tented aggregation. Many of the
features were obtained .only after
salaries that to any other show would
have been prohibitive, were Included
In the contract. The Cole Brothers
will not, under any conditions, sacrifice
one portion of tholr performance to
strengthen another part. It mutt be
evenly arranged and the program must
be excellent throughout.
Cole Brothers World Famed Shows
will be In DuBois Friday, May 21, and
in Punxsutawney Saturday, May 22,
and with them will be everything new
and nothing old.

James II. Duylo and wife, Helen,
who were tried In the Mercer county
court list week for kldmipplng Willie
Whltlu from his parents in Sharon,
Pa., a couple of months ago, were Ben- '
tenced Monday morning by Judge A.
W. Williams.. Boylts was given a life
sentence in tho Western Penitentiary
and Mrs. Boyle was sentenced to serve
twenty five years in the Western Peni
tentiary and to pay a fine of $5,000.
This 1b a heavy penalty but none too
severe for the crime of stealing a child
from bis parents.
Mrs. Boyle attempted to eommlt
suicide by taking morphine, but the
drug did not prove fatal, although she -thought
she was taking sufficient
poison to kill two persons. In search
ing Boyle Monday morning the sheriff
found bidden between the lining and
silk of his four-ln-band necktie a white
handled razor and a scarf pin, The
sheriff said that the purpose of the
razor, evidently, was to kill Mrs. Boyle
and then kill himself.
